Summer Reading 2019
as recommended by

St. George’s Students and Teachers
Dear St. George’s Community,
In our quest to nurture a culture of reading in our school, we have
produced another wonderful list of books for you to enjoy this summer.
Whether you are reading for work or pleasure, you will be able to do so in
a range of languages, selecting from books recommended by our language
faculties for all age groups. Titles in blue have recently been added to the
school library and may be signed out during the academic year.
The Magic of Reading
Each story is a journey not only for the characters, but also for you.
Books teach you compassion. They help you work on your capacity
to connect to another person and invest yourself in their story. You
will learn to be more observant, imaginative and creative. Reading
can widen your mind’s horizons to an incredible extent and fully
transform your view of the world. Books guide you towards
becoming a dreamer and teach you that you are capable of doing
anything you put your mind to, no matter how hard it may seem.
The most important books in your life will be the ones that are
mirrors of your life. You will see your own reflection in the pages
and, as you read, you will start to understand yourself on a deeper
level. Another part of you, that you have always been searching for,
will be discovered. The words written by a complete stranger will
help you connect with the person you have to know the best -
yourself. Therefore, the more you read, the more you will learn
about who you truly are.
Excerpt from an IGCSE English speech by Tatiana Stepanova, Year 11
